In late October the Albany Center Galleries asked the UAG to make a presence at their Menagerie Art Circus. We saw this as a great opportunity to get our name out while we were in the planning stage, looking towards the opening of our gallery in early 2006. Several of our founders attended the private dinner party and art auction the night before while the group as a whole helped spread some Halloween-themed cheer with a series of wardrobe-box installations and face painting.
